  • Brewers' Anthony Seigler: Getting second straight start

    Seigler will start at third base and bat seventh Sunday against the Nationals.

    Seigler will make a second straight start in place of Caleb Durbin after going 1-for-4 with his second stolen base of the season in Saturday's 8-2 win. The Brewers haven't indicated that Durbin is dealing with an injury, so Seigler will likely return to a backup role during the upcoming week.

    Brewers' Caleb Durbin: Sitting for second straight game

    Durbin is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Durbin is on the bench for the second day in a row, but the Brewers have yet to indicate that his absence is the result of an injury. Anthony Seigler will pick up another start at third base at Durbin's expense after going 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 8-2 win.

  • Max Muncy 3B | LAD

    Dodgers' Max Muncy: Could return Monday

    Muncy (knee) could return from the 10-day injured list as soon as Monday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.

    Muncy has gone 3-for-12 with a walk, a run and an RBI over four games during a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City. After manning third base in those contests, Muncy is scheduled to serve as Oklahoma City's designated hitter Sunday, and the Dodgers will reassess him after the contest. Once he's cleared to return, Muncy should displace rookie Alex Freeland as the Dodgers' everyday third baseman.

  • Rays' Junior Caminero: Smacks 28th homer

    Caminero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Dodgers.

    Caminero went yard in the sixth inning to tally his 28th long ball of the season. He's now gone yard five times in 15 games since the All-Star break, also delivering 12 RBI and six runs scored over that stretch.

  • Miguel Vargas 2B | CHW

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Diagnosed with oblique strain

    Vargas was scratched from Saturday's game against the Angels due to a left oblique strain.

    Vargas was originally slated to start at first base but was scratched just before the beginning of Saturday's contest. The White Sox later announced that Vargas is dealing with a left oblique strain and is being further evaluated. Given the nature of the injury, it wouldn't be surprising if Vargas has to miss more than just Saturday's contest, though it's not yet clear how severe the issue is. Lenyn Sosa shifted from the keystone over to first base Saturday after Vargas was pulled and may make more starts there if the latter needs to miss additional time.

    White Sox's Miguel Vargas: Last-minute scratch Saturday

    Vargas is no longer in the starting lineup against the Angels on Saturday.

    Vargas was originally slated to start at first base and bat cleanup, but he was removed from the lineup just before the start of the contest. It's not immediately clear what prompted his removal. Corey Julks is entering the starting nine in Vargas' place and is playing left field, while Lenyn Sosa is shifting from the keystone to first base, among other defensive changes.

  • Miguel Andujar RF | CIN

    Reds' Miguel Andujar: Late addition to lineup

    Andujar is replacing Gavin Lux in Saturday's starting lineup against Atlanta, batting fifth and playing left field, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.

    Lux was originally slated to start against righty Spencer Strider, but Strider was scratched as a result of a lengthy weather delay. Atlanta is now deploying lefty Austin Cox as an opener, and the Reds are countering by swapping in the righty-hitting Andujar for the lefty-hitting Lux.

  • Andy Lugo 3B | BOS

    Twins' Andy Lugo: On IL with thumb injury

    Lugo was placed on the 7-day injured list at High-A Cedar Rapids on Friday with a thumb injury, Seth Stohs of TwinsDaily.com reports.

    Lugo had been playing well since coming over in a trade for Jorge Alcala in June. He's hitting .297 with three home runs and a .855 OPS in 29 games for Cedar Rapids after hitting four home runs with a .757 OPS at High-A in the Red Sox organization.

  • Jose Ramirez 3B | CLE

    Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Smacks homer in win

    Ramirez went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Twins.

    Ramirez tied the game at 4-4 with a two-run blast in the fifth inning, and he also scored the go-ahead run in the eighth on a Bo Naylor double. This was Ramirez's third multi-hit effort in his last four games, though the homer was his first since July 22. The third baseman batted .265 over 26 games in July -- while that's a fine number, it was lower than what he managed in both May and June. He's added plenty of category coverage in 2025, slashing .300/.375/.526 for the year with 22 homers, 59 RBI, 70 runs scored and 32 stolen bases over 107 contests. Ramirez posted his second 30-30 campaign in 2024 and could repeat the feat if his power stays strong over the final two months of this campaign.

  • Josh Jung 3B | TEX

    Rangers' Josh Jung: Out again Saturday

    Jung (calf) isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

    Jung will take a third straight day off to recover from a sore calf. Josh Smith will pick up another start at third base as a result, with Rowdy Tellez starting at first.
